Diagrams are only available in Ultimate version of IntelliJ IDEA and Diagram Support is implemented using a commercial library called yFiles. This library has a bit complicated API and if you use yFiles it’s difficult to make something really simple in a short period of time. That’s why I made a diagram framework on top of yFiles. We (IntelliJ team) are using this framework inside Ultimate project and I can’t provide some real code examples. Sorry!

I moved my IntelliJ IDEA plugin “Idea 11 Icon pack” to the official plugin repository. Now, permanent link is http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7285 The plugin is now available through Preferences -> Plugins -> Browse Repositories

As an IntelliJ IDEA user, you may notice user interface changes from version to version. And IMHO it looks better and better. Anyway, there are always some guys who don’t like any UI changes. To make these users feel comfortable with changes we made, I wrote a plugin that enables old IntelliJ icons.

Download the plugin from here /idea11icons.jar Then go to IDEA Preferences -> Plugins -> Install from disk. Then restart IDEA.

UPDATE: The plugin has been updated to version 1.1 due compatibility issues with IntelliJ IDEA 13. Please download again and re-install
